Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a positioning and clamping mechanism for UAV parking. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, the types of sensors they carry are constantly being innovated, forming a diversified intelligent sensing system. As an emerging application form, vehicle-mounted drones are expanding the application boundaries of drones with their flexible and mobile characteristics. In emergency rescue scenarios, they can arrive at the disaster site as soon as possible and transmit real-time disaster images back to the command center. In the field of logistics and distribution, vehicle-mounted drones are combined with ground transportation to break through traffic congestion and achieve last-mile delivery. During traffic law enforcement, they can quickly take off to collect evidence of violations in all aspects.

[0003] However, current applications of vehicle-mounted drones still face numerous technical bottlenecks. Most vehicle-mounted drones on the market adopt a crude mounting method, simply placing the drone in the trunk or roof of a vehicle without specialized take-off, landing, and storage devices. During vehicle operation, road bumps and the inertial impact of sudden braking may cause the drone to shake and collide with external objects, resulting in damage to the drone body and sensor malfunction. Furthermore, traditional drones have stringent requirements for take-off and landing environments. In complex areas such as streets with high-rise buildings and narrow alleys in cities, it is often difficult to find suitable take-off and landing sites, which greatly reduces the efficiency of emergency response. To address these issues, we propose a positioning and clamping mechanism for drone parking. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning and clamping mechanism for parking unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning and clamping mechanism for parking a drone, comprising a base cabinet, a support platform hinged to the outside of the base cabinet, and a drone body mounted on the support platform. A drone docking seat is installed on the support platform. A docking adapter hole is provided at the center of the top of the drone docking seat. An electromagnetic suction seat is installed at the center of the bottom of the docking adapter hole. Magnetic signal contacts and docking charging interfaces are respectively installed on both sides of the inner wall of the docking adapter hole. A docking base is installed at the bottom of the drone body. A positioning groove matching the electromagnetic suction seat is provided at the bottom of the docking base. A power interface and a signal docking groove are respectively installed on both sides of the outer wall of the docking base.

[0006] As an improved technical solution, the overall design of the docking adapter hole is conical, and the docking base at the bottom of the UAV body is also conical to match the docking adapter hole.

[0007] As an improved technical solution, a wireless communication module is installed on the top of the drone body, and the wireless communication module forms a dual-channel communication link with the magnetic signal contact.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the magnetic attraction signal contact and the docking charging interface are electrically connected to the electromagnetic suction base.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the electromagnetic suction base has a built-in pressure sensor.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, a buffer rubber pad is provided inside the mating adapter hole.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, an infrared positioning module is installed on the side of the UAV body, and a positioning marker adapted to the infrared positioning module is installed on the top of the UAV docking seat.

[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a drone docking station mounted on a flip-up support platform. The docking station has mating holes, allowing the docking base at the bottom of the drone to embed into these holes for initial positioning. When the signal docking slot on the outside of the docking base aligns with the magnetic signal contact, and the power interface aligns with the docking charging interface, the electromagnetic suction base is energized and attracts the positioning slot at the bottom of the docking base, completing the positioning process. This effectively prevents the drone from accidentally loosening during transport, avoiding damage to the drone body. The docking charging interface charges the drone through the power interface, while the magnetic signal contact monitors the drone's status in real time through the signal docking slot, simultaneously completing fixation, charging, and communication connection, reducing operational steps. Furthermore, the entire docking station can be installed outside a vehicle, providing an effective take-off and landing area for the drone and improving landing accuracy in complex environments.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning and clamping mechanism for parking a drone includes a base cabinet 1, a support platform 2 hinged to the outside of the base cabinet 1, and a drone body 4 mounted on the support platform 2. A drone docking seat 3 is installed on the support platform 2. A docking adapter hole 5 is opened at the center of the top of the drone docking seat 3. An electromagnetic suction seat 6 is installed at the center of the bottom of the docking adapter hole 5. Magnetic signal contacts 7 and docking charging interfaces 8 are respectively installed on both sides of the inner wall of the docking adapter hole 5. A docking base 9 is installed at the bottom of the drone body 4. A positioning groove 10 matching the electromagnetic suction seat 6 is opened at the bottom of the docking base 9. Signal docking grooves 12 and wireless communication modules 13 are respectively installed on both sides of the outer wall of the docking base 9.

[0022] A drone docking base 3 is installed on a flip-up support platform 2, and a docking adapter hole 5 is provided on the drone docking base 3. The docking base 9 at the bottom of the drone body 4 can be inserted into the docking adapter hole 5 to achieve initial positioning. When the signal docking groove 12 on the outside of the docking base 9 connects with the magnetic signal contact 7 and the power interface 11 connects with the docking charging interface 8, the electromagnetic suction base 6 can be powered on, allowing the electromagnetic suction base 6 to form an attraction to the positioning groove 10 at the bottom of the docking base 9, completing the positioning. This effectively prevents the drone body 4 from accidentally loosening during transportation, avoiding damage to the drone body. The docking charging interface 8 charges the drone body 4 through the power interface 11, and the magnetic signal contact 7 monitors the status of the drone body 4 in real time through the signal docking groove 12, simultaneously completing fixation, charging, and communication connection, reducing operation steps. Furthermore, the entire base cabinet 1 can be installed outside the vehicle, so that the unfolded drone docking base 3 can provide an effective take-off and landing site for the drone body 4, and improve the landing accuracy of the drone body 4 in complex environments.

[0023] In other embodiments, the docking adapter hole 5 is generally tapered, and the docking base 9 at the bottom of the UAV body 4 is tapered to match the docking adapter hole 5.

[0024] The tapered structure generates a self-correcting torque when the UAV body 4 deviates during landing, guiding the docking base 9 to slide into the center of the UAV docking seat 3, thereby allowing for a certain level of horizontal docking error and improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0025] In other embodiments, a wireless communication module 13 is installed on the top of the drone body 4, and the wireless communication module 13 and the magnetic signal contact 7 form a dual-channel communication link;

[0026] With this design, when the docking base 9 drives the signal docking groove 12 to physically dock with the magnetic signal contact 7 in the docking adapter hole 5, the magnetic signal contact 7 can directly transmit control commands to the drone body 4. When the signal docking groove 12 on the docking base 9 is disconnected from the magnetic signal contact 7, the wireless communication module 13 can wirelessly take over the communication to ensure real-time monitoring of the drone body 4.

[0027] In other embodiments, the magnetic signal contact 7 and the docking charging interface 8 are electrically connected to the electromagnetic suction base 6;

[0028] With this design, when the docking base 9 drives the signal docking groove 12 and the power interface 11 to make physical contact with the magnetic signal contact 7 and the docking charging interface 8 in the docking adapter hole 5, the electromagnetic suction seat 6 can be triggered, allowing the electromagnetic suction seat 6 to attract the bottom of the docking base 9 through magnetic force, ensuring that the docking base 9 can successfully dock with the docking adapter hole 5.

[0029] In other embodiments, the electromagnetic suction base 6 has a built-in pressure sensor;

[0030] This design allows the pressure sensor to monitor the intensity of the carrier's vibration in real time, and enables the electromagnetic suction seat 6 to increase the magnetic attraction force according to a preset algorithm, thus preventing the drone body 4 from disengaging when the vehicle is moving bumpily.

[0031] In other embodiments, a buffer rubber pad is provided inside the mating adapter hole 5;

[0032] This design allows the rubber pad to absorb the impact energy of the docking base 9 at the bottom of the drone body 4 when it comes into contact with the inner wall of the docking adapter hole 5, and to manufacture tolerances through deformation compensation.

[0033] In other embodiments, an infrared positioning module 14 is installed on the side of the drone body 4, and a positioning marker adapted to the infrared positioning module 14 is installed on the top of the drone docking seat 3.

[0034] This design allows the infrared positioning module 14 to scan the positioning marks on the drone docking seat 3 during the landing phase of the drone body 4, generating three-dimensional coordinates and adjusting the drone's attitude in real time to achieve vertical and precise docking, effectively improving the docking accuracy of the drone body 4.

[0035] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all conventional, known devices used for control, such as computers.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
